CHIMNEY TOP AND VENTILATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,805, dated November 21, 1882.

Application filed July 14, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL R. STAscH, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Corning, in the county of Steuben and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin OhimneyTops and Ventilators, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to an improvement in chimney-top caps or ventilators, having for its object to remedy the smoking of chimneys; anditconsists ofa pipe with a hood or deflector connected to its upper end in a manner to prevent downward curren ts of air reaching or passin g into it, and at the same time adapted to permit the smoke topass out. substantially as hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of my improved chimney cap or cowl, and Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the same.

A is the pipe, which is fastened to the top of the chimney. To the uppereinl-ofthis pipe, around its opening, is aflixed a downwardlyinclined annular flange, a, while above this end of the pipe is arranged a similarly-inclined rents of air are prevented from entering the pipe and driving the smoke back down the chimney-flue, thus overcoming the tendency to smoke from that source. In Figs. 3 and 4 the pipe is connected to a cross-head pipe, 0, through which the smoke first passes, and then through apertures c in the inner cone, Z), the deflector or flange a being omitted and said cone caused to take its place. The pipe 0 takes the place of the flange a, as above intimated.

I am aware that chimney-cowls have been constructed and patented with a pipe having a downwardly-projecting flange, a cone suspended above it, and the whole surrounded by a deflector contracted at both ends and enlarged at the middle, the outside deflector at tached by straps at its lower end to the pipe,

the inner cone or deflector attached by straps from its outer upper side to the inner upper side of the large deflector. Therefore this I do not broadly claim; but 1 What I desire to secure by Letters Patent In combination, the pipe A, having its upper end surrounded with a downwardly-projecting flange or deflector, a, the hollow deflecting-cone b, held above Said pipe and flange by bars I), and the truncated-cone-shaped deflector B, open at the top and bottom, and held in place by the extended arms I), as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

EMIL R. STASCH.
